“What?”
When Four Tree Forest and the rest heard Fearless, they were speechless and they had an indecipherable expression on their faces.
Looking at Wang Yu and Evil Rampage, everyone knew that Fearless’ words were not baseless. Other than their temperament and their appearance, every other aspect of the two mirrored each other.
Could they be twins…
Out of the many possibilities, could it be there was much more than meets the eye concerning the relationship between the guild leader of Peerless Heaven and Quan Zhen Sect?
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the exchange between Wang Yu and Evil Rampage.
What has this situation turned into…
“You… You are lying!!”
Four Tree Forest was emotionally unstable upon hearing the revelation and made some childish comments.
“Lying?” Fearless scoffed at him coldly and replied, “Did I get you guys to attack the city or kill Evil Rampage?”
“This…” Four Tree Forest and the others had no coherent reply to him.
Attacking the city was part of the system event but the ultimate goal was Wang Yu.
Killing Evil Rampage was a misunderstanding. Who knew that the two looked so similar to each other…
At this juncture, the situation had devolved into a problem that is not solely due to a misunderstanding. Evil Rampage and his brother were waiting for an explanation.
There was no way around resolving this misunderstanding without offending Peerless Heaven. Who was he to reason with?
Thinking about it more carefully, there was only the system to blame… If the system hadn’t organised this city invasion, how could they have provoked the Peerless Heaven?
Everyone could only harbour this grudge in their hearts. Even though Peerless Heaven might be a big guild, the system represented absolute power… Offending it would be treading on thin ice.
“F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!”
The mood of the guild leaders presented was extremely dreadful. They were experienced players but probably had not been through such a traumatic event before.
What was most painful to see was that Peerless Heaven’s members were already in the process of attacking their cities…
“How, what do we do?”
Since things have turned out this way, nobody had the impetus left to attack the city. They were left in a heap of confused emotions.
Looking at their muddled expressions, Fearless coldly said, “What else can you do? If you still want to fight, we will accompany you to the very end!”
“We don’t dare, don’t dare…” Upon hearing Fearless’ valiant declaration, the rest quickly waved the suggestion away and smiled at him forcefully. The players from Peerless Heaven were well known for their plundering ways and they had already wiped clean the warehouses of Twilight City.
However, as long as one was not an idiot, they would know what they had to do to get out of this precarious situation.
The guild leaders present all displayed fear and remorse.
“You guys think you can do whatever you want around here. Did you think our Twilight City players are pushovers…?” Fearless continued.
“…”
The crowd cried out, “Boss, what do you think we should do?”
Fearless was speechless, “F*ck, how are you guys guild leaders with such low IQ? What do you think you have to do since you guys lost the war? Go and think of how to compensate us.”
It was not that these guild leaders did not know the proper things to do since they had lost. However, it was due to the fact that they were still in a daze. They were so close to victory, yet at the last moment, everything disappeared in a cloud of smoke. It was difficult to accept this outcome.
“Compensate! We will definitely compensate you!” The guild leaders nodded in unison.
These guild leaders held no leverage whatsoever in the negotiations that were about to follow.
“Alright!”
Fearless said, “Our Quan Zhen Sect values righteousness. Since you guys have admitted defeat, we will definitely be merciful and not kill you. However, your actions have been a trespass on the sovereignty of our city and this is bad for our image. You have to fork out a heavy price to compensate us for that. Do you have any objections to that?”
“No objections, none at all!” The crowd nodded again.
“Seeing that everyone is so forthcoming, I will just state my conditions. What does one hundred gold per person sound?”
“Pu!!!”
Everyone spurted out a mouthful of blood when they heard his demands.
One hundred gold was not much for the players of these big guilds but the current exchange rate on the website was about one hundred gold to five thousand RMB. It was almost a month’s salary to the ordinary worker.
The players that came to attack Twilight City had died a few times and we were even forced to fork out a hundred gold… That was not a good feeling.
Furthermore, there were almost a million people who had besieged the city, so with the payment of one hundred gold per player, the final tally of gold would add up to be an astronomical amount.
“Brother, is this number a little too high?” the guild leaders tried to negotiate a lower price.
“Too high?” Fearless explained, “We have about three hundred thousand people in Twilight City. This little bit of money is not even enough to give them a pension. Because of your actions, you have destroyed the landscape of Twilight City. All these require money to repair.”
“But, the majority of the deaths came from our own players…” The tear-stricken faces of the guild leaders were on full display.
Fearless pointed at Evil Rampage on the roof and said, “This is not about the casualty count. Evil Rampage was killed by you guys after all. How do you want to settle that matter?”
“This…” They took a quick glance at Evil Rampage and continued, “What is the matter concerning the calm and security of Twilight City?”
The aggressors had forfeited their rights the moment they laid siege on the city. All the deaths on their side were well deserved. However, it was difficult to justify the compensation on the damage done to Twilight CIty’s landscape.
Fearless replied indifferently, “What a joke. Did you guys kill the monster from Twilight City? He was such a cute monster and you guys heartlessly killed it. How about the fire in Sunset Valley? Do you know it has caused smog and haze?”
“This…” The crowd once again vomited blood, “Wasn’t the fire started by you guys…”
“Even if we did, it is because of you guys. No more nonsense. Another word from you and it is two hundred gold for one person,” Fearless answered sternly.
“Stop, stop, one hundred gold! We will settle it at one hundred gold!”
Seeing Fearless’ exasperation, the guild leaders were afraid he would let Evil Rampage loose on them and reluctantly agreed to his demands.
One hundred gold was still within reach for most players and although they were bitter about the eventual outcome, they stifled their indignation in their hearts.
Quan Zhen Sect was still a credible bunch of players although they had a bad reputation.
After receiving the compensation, Fearless gave the order to Sanguine Alliance to release the captured players.
These players quickly picked themselves up and exited Twilight City in the shortest time possible.
“If you have time, you are welcome to come and play again…” Fearless bade farewell to their leaving figures.
“F*ck you!” Hearing Fearless taunts, the crowd could not help but give him the middle finger.
